Finalization

Tomorrow I go to school to apply for graduation. I think the lady in charge is more excited than I am. I forgot what time my appointment was, and so, I emailed her, and I was like so yeah, I can make it, but forgot what time our meeting was at.  Her reply was... and to quote the email "Yeah! I'm so pleased[!]". Okay, home slice, take it down two notches. 

I understand her frustration though. Apparently, she was promoted, and then given the task of calling 500 students that could have graduated this month. Not many people called her back, or were "not ready" to graduate. And I was one of the few that actually seemed excited to get the hell out of that school. So, maybe I'll let her stay extremely excited.

I wonder what she’s going to ask/tell me. I registered for the one measly class I needed. It’s a 3 hour class, on a Saturday. But whatever. I’m fine with it. I get to look at slides, write papers, and occassionally go to a museum. All things I love doing. And, though I would have loved to take an architecture class, I’m saving myself from a lot of headaches. I was told that even the 101 class has too much math. 

I know I have until May, but, I'm already thinking of putting some highly creative saying on my mortar board. (Suggestions?) I wanted to do this in high school, but my high school’s graduation cap is practically sacred. It has the school logo and the name of the school. It looks nice. So I didn’t do it. But this one is fair game. Also, if one of you comes up with something brilliant, and I decided to use it, I’ll have pictures, and a dollar to send you. 

On another note, why can't I get motivated to fill out transfer applications? I think it's because it's winter break. And who really wants to do anything productive while they're supposed to be watching television in their pajamas all day?  

I haven’t finished Christmas shopping. Luckily, I decided only one person was getting a Christmas present. So, I should really go out and buy that. Like now. Or tomorrow. Or soon. Ish. 

$300... Oh That's Just Pocket Change

Hello, my name is Lily, and I'm a shopaholic.

Today was definately not supposed to be "Spend 300$ Day". My brother recently got a new job and I was going to help him move his tool box over to the place he's going to begin work. Since I didn't have to work today, I shot out the idea that we should go look around at the mall that's near there. He agreed.

Since school starts in a couple of weeks, I decided that it would be a good time to go out and get new clothes for the new semester. I was originally only going to buy some shirts because I had already gone shopping with my mom who bought me a bunch of shorts and jeans. But like a true shopaholic, I bought more jeans, and very few shirts.

Granted, I bought stuff I needed. There's not one thing that I bought that I'm not going to wear. I even bought clothes for work - one white polo, which honestly, I might just end up wearing it to school and/or social events.

It doesn't aggravate me that I spent that much. That's not the problem. Or, I'm not sure. Is it the problem? How do you know if you really have a problem? Would it be more  of a problem if I spent the $300 at ONE store, or is the problem that I spent $100 dollars at each store I visited?

Or is there no problem with this at all?
